lin, or, the wonder

 

 

beautiful young woman

lin

coming into our life so unexpectedly

 

kicking and screaming like a newborn

unlike a newborn

arriving fully-formed

 

i've written of this, needn't

write more

this is about the wonder

 

the state of grace bestowed

upon us

her presence a miracle

 

we marvel at our good fortune

our lin

This is tender and full of quiet awe. The idea of someone arriving fully formed yet still felt as a miracle is lovely, and the shift from explaining Lin's arrival to simply marveling at her presence gives the poem a warm, settled feeling. The phrase "the state of grace bestowed upon us" carries real weight. But the poem is almost too content. There's no friction or surprise, just gratitude repeated in slightly different ways. A single sharp detail about Lin herself would make the wonder feel more personal and less abstract. Still, the love here is unmistakable.

I have a Lin too, thought she hates the abbreviation. Your Lin is perfect, beyond time even, and always will be. You are so fortunate indeed. Blessings, Allen
